On the Needles

Feel a bit like a slug right now, having caught a bit of a bug. Feel tired and, dare i say “sluggish”. Now, before you feel sorry for me, know that i am a Knitter.

Love the color of your hat. Haven’t seen the Misfits yet, but will look for it. I keep wondering what happened to Dr. Who, LOL. As a rubber stamper snf paper artist, I love your doodle. I keep imagining everything I could do with it!!
